When I read the account of Christmas in the Bible, I see certain groups of people there. Some were ready for Jesus while others were not. But why weren’t they ready for Jesus?

It's time to check the gauge on your love. Are you running low on your love for God and others? Has it changed since you became a believer? What do we do about this?
